when's the new steem saint or winston emu's coming out

[carmel_andrews]

Havent seen or heard anything in ages

 

last steem i had was 32debug

last saint was 199g

last winston i had was v5

 

Any noos.

 

Also will steem be extended to emulating 030/40 based atari systems (TT/Falcon)

 

And the same applies to saint/winston

 

i have heard of this 'aranym', however it seems to only output in b&w, also it doesn't seem to like USB joysticks nor any of the ST disk images (automation, dbug, vectronix etc etc)

 

that's the only falcon/tt type emu that i have seen

About the ST emulators. Winston's dead, steem might get an update eventually and so might saint. But that is something we can only hope for and I don't see it in the near future. I don't think STEEM or Saint will ever become falcon or TT emulators.

About ARANYM. ARANYM stands for Atari Running on Any Machine and it's not an emulator of an existing atari machine, but rather an idea of what the Atari Falcon might have been today if Atari hadn't discontinued it (and died later on) and if Motorola had continued the production of the 68K series. There is some limited falcon emulation but it is not a clock cycle one (especially since ARANYM emulates a 040 machine) and it is not intended either. ARANYM is primarily intended for everyday computing use and IMHO it does that very well since most GEM apps work straight from the box. And for the record it doesn't only work in B&W but in any resolution provided by the host machine's hardware. The way I use ARANYM is complimentary to my falcon's use. For more on Aranym

Saint is probably the most user-friendly of the ST apps.

 

STeem IMO just has too many annoyances.

 

Winston was probably the first one I used but I quickly dropped it once I discovered Saint.

 

Funny thing about the ST - there's probably been more emulators made for it than just about any other system.

WinSTon is not dead! It simply got open source and got renamed to hatari! (http://hatari.atari.org). Falcon compatibility was recently added, and you can even watch quite some falcon demos in it! Don't expect anything perfect yet though!

 

Aranym is what Chris said, a TOS clone. But I don't like it too much - seems too hackish for my tastes.

 

As for the rest of the emulators, they seem to be in hiatus...

is winton...the new version...windoze compatible (as i've always associated open source with the linux mob)

[ggn]

Well, I'm sort of involved with the project and I do some windows builds, just haven't don one lately. Shout if you want one

You don't seem to be too well informed about the fact that there's loads of open source projects for any and all platforms?

Just have a look at e.g. Open Office which has a port for Windows as well.

[Rybags]

Just check SourceForge.net - thousands of projects, many of them Windows specific.

Gimme Gimme Gimme...but only winston/hatari (or whatever youv'e re christened it)

 

can i have one b4 my birthday

[ggn]

Here you go...

 

Supply that your own TOS image and away you go! (I hope)

 

Hope all DLLs are there

 

(edit: seems attachments are not working? I'll upload it somewhere tomorrow)

GGN...as the french say, merci beaucoup messieur ( i'm guessing your a bloke/man)

 

Will it work with the TOS images used with steem

 

You mention STE compatability, like in winston v2r2 (is this only semi ste or full ste compatability(

 

Have you also fixed the prob. regarding loading 'rtype', it keeps crashing on the 'electric dreams logo' screen (other winstons/stew)

 

Lastly will it be capable of emu the higher end m/c like TT/falcon (030 and 040 emulation, as i have TT and falcon rom images)

So, download url of last night's CVS is here: http://users.hol.gr/~ggn/hatari-binary.zip

 

STE compatibility has improved since winston. Hatari is the only one to emulate Paradox's "Pacemaker" demo properly which is STE only!

 

Ok, for falcon compatibility mode you need a newer TOS. 4.0x can be found on the internet, or from your falcons

 

I won't say much more. This is CVS version. It might be broken. I tried it and it worked. So have a play with it hand have fun! Report any problems to me, not the list, as it's my personal build!

[carmel_andrews]

hello ggn...thanks again

 

couple of things

 

Chaos Engine still has graphics corruption (game screen and other screens) and doesn't load properly

 

the cartridge image doesn't seem to work (doesnt reset when ok is pressed) just hangs

 

But you did fix the rtype loading prob...now it loads properly

 

haven't tried the tt/falcon thing yet as i don't konow were software images are on the internet and i don't know if the falcon or tt are compatible with the st games images i have

Cool, I gave a quick run a building a windows binary, but it kept complaining about zlib. Though I was using Msys not Cygwin for the build. And this stuff is always cranky under Windows.

 

I've built Hatari on my MBP and even my PS3!
